I was unable to find sources that would help this article pass WP:MUSIC. Some of the information in the article was added by somebody claiming to be the subject and I can't find any WP:RS. Movingboxes (talk) 10:46, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete one of the sources is self-published, and the Google books result contains one small paragraph - not enough to meet the "multiple non-trivial published works" requirement. Nothing the article asserts and nothing I can find makes this person notable enough for inclusion. ~ AmeIiorate U T C @ 13:22, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Keep Defari is a recognised name in underground hip-hop circles. There are reliable sources to be found if you care to look - here's a biography from Allmusic and here's a Los Angeles Times article on the guy. More independent sources are here, here, here, here and here. I didn't even have to look very hard. Sharpen up, brothers and sisters. sparkl!sm hey! 22:05, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
